  • Change docker-compose to use volumes instead of writing in the local folder. This is the best practice for app-managed storage (see upstream volume documentation) and allows for drop-in compatibility with Podman, a FOSS alternative to Docker.
  • Documentation: remove outdated mention of pre-existing admin account
  • Documentation: Refer to upstream for Docker instructions. The information here was outdated, as, for example, Windows 10 is not supported anymore, and no special configuration is required, so this should make future maintenance of the instructions easier.
  • Update the Docker PostGIS image
  • Change the way database dump import works so there is no change in the compose file required

Docker: rework import of dumps
e56c4b3 
Change from "change this in the compose file" to an automatic check in `entrypoint.sh`:

If there is a database: do nothing
If there is no database but a dump in a specific location: import dump
Else create a new db from the scripts in `./install`
